Fancy Goldfish?

Moving aside from my bettas, I've recently acquired a 25 gallon tank accompanied with an Aquaclear 70, Marineland heater, and a clamp light(?). I was wondering if this aquarium is good for one Fancy goldfish?

Most on here wouldn't agree with me, but I think 1 Ranchu or Pearlscale would be fine in there. Also a Black Moor Could be a good choice. You will absolutely have stay on top of water changes and cleaning up any uneaten food asap as one missed water change could be very bad. With that said if you are dedicated and test the water and do changes as needed without fail I think you should have a happy fish.

I will say that I am not a fan of Goldfish being kept by themselves. Most of them really, really enjoy and need another Goldfish friend. Possibly look for an older fish that needs a new home and is happy living by itself. That way you save a life and have a happy fish. Goldfish really are the best.

I will say you might be surprised by what you find. I "adopted" ( was asked to take) a 4" Black Moor from my local Petco. Turns out he was completely blind and needed to be housed alone. ( couldn't ever find or grab the food before my other Goldfish, even when hand feeding him) Maybe you can find a fish like him in a similar situation.

My father in law also currently has a blind ranchu blind from both eyes, in that case he has no choice but to live by himself.

since goldfish are social animals i would say no since you need 2 or more
